3. Pick your content platform and follow the instructions[/caption]

4. If we don’t support your software or you want the code snippet for just one button you can place in a place of your choice then use the manual button creation option.

Fill out the required fields (URL, title, description, tags) as this information will be used in our Catalog where you site will be featured. — Click “Get button” — You now see the HTML code you need to put on your website. Below is a quick screencast showing the steps for that.[/caption]

5. If you have full control over your website then add first bit of code inside the head tag and the second bit of code where you want the button to appear.

6. If you can’t edit the head of your website code (or you cannot add Javascript to your site) then scroll down to Static button and use this code.

7. That’s it, you’re done.

8. Promote your button — blog about it, tweet it to your followers, put it into your Facebook and/or Google+.
